Sprouts Farmers Market has expanded its partnership with Los Angeles-based Klatch Coffee, bringing in-store cafes to 11 additional locations in Southern California, including the first in San Diego County.
Two cafes opened July 2, at the Sprouts Carlsbad-Uptown Bressi and Laguna Niguel locations, with additional ones to follow this summer in El Cajon, Escondido, Lake Forest, Mira Mesa, Rancho Santa Fe, San Clemente, San Diego (Clairemont Village), San Diego (Genesee Avenue) and Santee.
The expansion builds on a collaboration that began in 2024 and resulted in 14 cafes.
“At Sprouts, we’re continuously listening to our customers and evolving the in-store experience in ways that feel both meaningful and relevant to the communities we serve,” said Mandy Rassi, chief customer officer for Phoenix, Arizona-based Sprouts Farmers Market.
“Expanding our partnership with Klatch Coffee reflects that commitment, further extending two brands grounded in shared values around quality, innovation and better ingredients. We’re intentionally creating a distinctive experience that enhances how our customers shop, connect and discover at Sprouts.”
Founded in 1993, Klatch sources top-tier beans, including Cup of Excellence coffees rated 90 points or higher, and roasts them in-house. Through a direct trade model, Klatch works with growers and pays above Fair Trade minimums, supporting farmers while enabling more sustainable environmental and social practices.
“We’ve found a partner in Sprouts Farmers Market that is closely aligned with our values, including unique beverages, exceptional quality and sustainable sourcing practices,” said Heather Perry, CEO of Klatch Coffee.
“From our relationships with coffee producers around the world, to the roasting process, to menu development, to barista training, we’ve poured our passion for specialty coffee into every step of our work for more than three decades.
“We can’t wait to share our craft with the communities in South Orange and San Diego counties.”
Grand-opening events took place July 2‑5 with giveaways, a raffle for Klatch Coffee and Sprouts Farmers Market gift cards and a Geisha coffee tasting.
Shoppers received a limited-time drink for the openings – a Naked Verbena made with fresh lemon verbena leaves, lemon peel and shaken espresso over house‑made simple syrup. It’s the beverage Perry used to win the U.S. Barista Championships.
